Construction Observation
When the construction firm has been selected and construction has commenced, the architect and consulting
engineers, according to their agreement in the contract,
observe the various phases of construction. These periodic observations generally correspond to the construction phases, such as during construction of the
foundation, framing, and so forth. Following their observations, the architect and consulting engineers provide
written reports to the client and contractor describing
their observations, along with any recommendations or
alterations they deem necessary for success of the project.
